EASTER.

Ny sweet little neighbor Bessie
Thought was busy with play,
When she turned. and brightly questioned;
Say, what Is the Easter Dayf"
"sHas nobody told you, darling
Do they Feed His LaI1bs' like thisr'
I gathered her to my bosom,
And gave her q tender kiss.
Away went the cloak for dolly,
And away went dolly, too,
As again she eagerly Questioned,
With eyes 80 earnest and blue:
'-.Is it like birthdays or Christmas
Or like Thanksgiving Day;
Do we just be good like Sunday,
Or run and frolic and plays
al know there's flowers to it, lt
And that is most all know;
I've got a lovely rosebush-
And q bud begins TO grow"
Then in words most few and simple
told to the gentle child
The story whose end is Easter
The Life OF the Underhled.
Told OF the Manager OF Bethlehem,
And about the glittering star
That guided the feet Of the shepherds
Watching their docks from affair,
Told of the lovely Mother
And the Baby who was born
To live on the earth among
Bearing its sorrows and scorn-
And then told of the life He lived
Those wonderful thirty years,
Sad, weary, troubled, forsaken,
In this world OF sin and tears,
Until came to the shameful death
That the Lord of Glory died,
Then the tender little maiden
Uplifted her voice and cried.
i came at length to the garden
Where they laid His form away,
And then in the course of telling
came TO the Easter Day
the day when sorrowing women
Came there to the grave to moan,
And the lovely shining angel4
Had rolled away the stone.
i think made her understand -
AS well Us childhood can,
About the glorified risen life
or Him who was God and Man.
This year the fair Easter lilies
/ Will CLEAN through a mist of tears,
For shall not see sweet Bessie
In all Of the coming years.
When the snow lay white and thlekezt
She quietly went away
To learn from the lips OF angels
The meaning OF Easter Day.
We put on the little body
The garments worn in life,
And laid her deep in the frozen earth
Away from all noise and strife.
We took all the dainty playthings,
And the dollies new and old,
And placed them in a sacred spot
With tress Of shining gold.
We're it not for the star of Bethlehem,
And the dawn of Easter Day,
It.would be to us most bitter
TO put our darling away.
But we know that as the hard brown earth
Holds lilies regal and white,
So the lifeless, empty, useless clay
Held once an angel OF light.
And hope on the Easter morning
To lock from the grave away,
Thinking not of the child that 1cds,
But the child that is to-day

Diphtheria has lately increased
in various parts Of New Jersey, and
DR.. E. NJ. Hunt, secretary of the
board of health, thinks this is large
ly due to damp cellars, which are
suddenly heated in the fall. This
theory has been verified for several
years by reports from various
places where the disease has ragged.
The Doctor says that, during the
summer, in many cellars a good
deal of vegetable matter is allowed
to decay, and when the fires are
started in the fall this decayed mat
ter is stirred up and mingled with
a peculiar dampness which must
be in the cellar, and it prevades the
entire house. This is the cause of
much of the diphtheria, and the
board is trying to induce people to
guard against it.

His Joke Cost Him His Life.

kASKAKEE, ILL.,, Oct. l2.-Her-
man Enrich, storekeeper here. and
Policeman Olsen, of the merchants
police, have been warm friends for
many years. Both were practical
jokers and fond of playing tricks on
each other. Late last night Enrich
saw Olsen making his rounds, and
thought it would be very funny to
make his friend think be was burg
lar, so be hid in doorway and as
Olsen came by sprang out and ran
up the street. Olsen cried Halt!
twice, but Enrich paid no attention
and continued to run. Olsen fired
in the air and ordered the fugitive to
surrender, but he kept on running.
1t was very dark and Enrich at
that time was two hundred feet in
advance of Olsen, who fired second
time, the ball striking Enrich in
the back of the head, killing
him instantly. Olsen, on learning
what he had done, was overwhelmed
with grief aud several times at
tempted to shoot himself. Not the
slightest blame rests on Olsen.

1T PAYS TO THINK.

A striking instance of the extent
to which labor saving machinery is
carried nowadays, says the Indus
trial Journal, is shown in the tin
can industry. Everybody knows
that tin cans are manufactured by
machinery. One of the machines
used in the process soldiers the
longitudinal seams of the cans at
the rate of fifty minute, the cans
rushing along in a continuous
stream. Now, of course, a drop or
two of solder is left on the can.
The drop on the outside can be
easily cleaned away, but it is not so
easy to secure the drop left on the
inside. It wouldn't do, of course,
to retard the speed Of the work
better waste the drop, it is only a
trife, anyhow, and to 50 men in 100
it would not seem worth minutes
attention. The hundredth man
worked for a firm using one OF
these machines, and he set about
devising an ingenious arrangement
for wiping the inside of the
can, thereby saving. that drop OF
solder and leaving none to come IN
contact with the contents Of the
can. He was encouraged by his
employers to patent his invention,
did so, and has already received
several thousand dollars in royal
ties for its use. AS the machine
soldiers 10000 cans day, the SOL
der saved by his invention amounted
to SIS day. It pays to think as
you work.

AN OIL VOLCANO.

The Ohio fields are the latest de-
velopments, and the entire State
has gone crazy over the oil and
natural gas boom. They have late
ly held a weeks jubilee in Toledo,
and have Illuminated the city with
natural gas spouts, which can be
seen a distance Of twenty miles.
The. natural gas was burning from
twenty standpoints, and after the
ceremonies were opened by speeches
by ex-President r. B. Hayes and
others, the river was turned into a
fountain Of fire. This was done by
running gas pipes out into the
river, and when the gas rises to
the surface it is lighted, producing
a most beautiful effect.
To give an idea of the gigantic
production which SO alarmed the
editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, and caused him to predict a
speedy collapse of the earth, we
give the following facts, culled
from the Toledo Blade:
Cygnet is town of tanks. 1t is
at Cygnet that the Buckeye Pipe
Line Company has already built a
dozen 35, 900 barrel tanks, and will
build without delay as many more.
A few months ago, where Cygnet
now stands the wind whistled
through poor potato patch, and
sighed among the trees OF the
Black Swamp. Now trees, potato
patches, large clumps of golden
rod, and beautiful punches of blue
asters must all get out of the road
of the tank men.
"The greatest gusher in the
world" recently mentioned in the
Blade, was next visited. Wonder
full as are the stories told Of other
wells in other fields, this well GER
tainly stands without an equal. in
the world.
The we'll, which is only short
walk from Cygnet, had been flowing
at the rate Of $50 barrels a day
when Mr.. Parker said "Shoot it, y
and Mr.. W. J. Morrison, of Find
lay, dropped the ''go devil"
Never before in the history OF
the oil fields has such result been
achieved. The oil burst forth in a
mighty volume, and it seemed as If
the fountains in the center of the
earth had been broken up and were
being forced up by an unseen and
unknown force. Through four
lines the oil poured, and the tanks
shook and the earth in the vicinity
Of the we'll trembled. The thun-
ders from the we'll can be heard all
over Cygnet. :,
In less than an hour and a half
the well flowed 500 barrels into the
tanks, and this will give the ''oil
Volcano a capacity of 5000 bar
rels per day. The we'll is keeping
up its reputation for being the
greatest gusher in the world, and
at the rate it is flowing, now all the
$4,000 barrel tanks at Cygnet will
soon be filled from the ''oil volca-
non
